Today as a group we learnt how to warm up at the start of the day, we did this by slowly rolling our spine down to the ground as much as we could and then plie before rolling back up slowly and then repeating. By doing this we opened our joints, this is important for us to do as performers as this is teaching us safe practice to ensure that we do not injure ourselves. I will use this in the future to ensure I am performing safe practice. We then learnt a small phrase of dance that we continued to refine and build upon, we used this to see what stage we were at with our dancing. I found this good as it gave me an idea of what my own skill level was compared to others on the course, this meant I could see how they were doing certain moves and was able to improve some of my own techniques.
I learnt that as well as learning the dances songs etc that you also need to be physically fit I will use to improve as I am starting at the gym and will be getting onto as healthier diet.
I have set myself the target to improve my fitness.
